When leadership demonstrates generosity, others learn the value of the gift. However, you must consider the nature of your generosity.

Intention: What is the motive behind your gift?

Object: What is the object of your generosity? Work? Family? Church? Lord?

Planned dedication: Is there a planned purpose?

Action: Are you ready to start giving?

Self-examination: What are you losing by holding on to the gift?

These questions help us determine the nature of and need behind our gift.
